At the beginning of our first big betatests for the
MegaTrainer in past we've created so called HiddenCheats as reward for our testers. These HiddenCheats were unpublished cheatfunctions in the
MegaTrainer and were only given to very authentic betatesters as thanks/reward. Such cheats were basically a useful addition to the existing cheats in the FIFA Manager series. So it was e.g. possible to increase all attributes of a player by one with one cheat instead of cheat each attribute separately. By and by more HiddenCheats have been created which effect sometimes can cause problems in wrong resp. overacting use (i.e. change the players-age can be used to let a player be in the mid 20 for more than 100 years which may let the game crash resp. corrupt the savegame in this overacting case). These cheats should only be used by skilled users with good experiences in use of the trainer and know how to use it safe (that's apply to good betatester).
Over the months/years more and more fans requested the HiddenCheats even though they weren't betatesters. For this reason we've decided to give the HiddenCheats to all very active users in our forum too, because they should be also experienced with the trainer. Shortly after that we decided to give the HiddenCheat to all members supporting us in any way. This means each good betatester, each good active forum-user, each working-member at
MegaDev (
Trainer-Videos,
FlashGames,
Sacred 2 Setitems/Items,
GamesModule, ...) and each donator was able to receive the Hiddencheats for the FIFA Manager he like by request as thanks/reward for the support.
To still manage the HiddenCheats and fulfill it with the growing number of users we needed to create a semi-automatically option which also differentiate between the different activities of the users. Each registered user now automatically collect points, the so called
MegaDev-Points for his activities on our sites. These points are the base for the HiddenCheats in the
Cheat-Overview of the
MegaTrainer XL resp. the
MegaTrainer eXperience to unlock them step by step. The more active and thus supporting a user is (support in forum, rate contents for other users/visitors and as feedback for us, ...), the merrier HiddenCheats were unlocked for him. The current amount of points will be listed in the newsticker and on this page. To prevent abuse by bots or else, the points won't be updated in realtime but by an administrator/moderator every view days.
